29 Jan 1778:23 (Supplement)
The following extract of a letter (found on board a prize
lately taken) from Dr. Chandler, late of Elizabeth-Town, in
New-Jersey, to Mr. Odell, late of Burlington, will shew,
among other things, the great dependence our enemies had on
their friend Gen Burgoyne.
. . . [1.2 column] If you like rapidity of motion in a
General, Burgoyne is your man. He is our present hero; for
him the trumpet of victory is uplifted; and his fame is now
echoing from all the parts of this Kindom. May he still
continue to shine--- and may General Howe endeavor to
eclipse him! a competition of this kind will be glorious.
